Myers Industries, Inc.
A maker of durable plastic goods and tire-service supplies, this company produces reusable containers, pallets, fuel tanks, and composite ground-protection matting under brands like Akro-Mils, Buckhorn, and Signature Systems, along with tire-repair tools. It began in 1933 in Akron, Ohio, when brothers Meyer and Louis Myers opened a small tire-supply shop with a loan from their mother. The Akro-Mils brand name combines "Akron" with the initials of the three brothers who founded that plastics line.
